No, not ethnically (and you didn't mention that you were specifically speaking of ethnicity to begin with) but they sure became Canadian citizens in 1867 and like I said, the NWMP was a Canadian police force, created in 1870. When they set up fort, they were acting on behalf of Canada, not Britain.

Wasn't looking to create an argument or weigh in on the topic at hand, was just making a correction.
